Debate on Surveillance Provisions and Warrant Requirements for Pfizer Bill

After the two-week spring recess, Congress will return to a plethora of work, including the debate surrounding FISA, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. In the coming days, House Speaker Mike Johnson will finally bring to the floor a reauthorization of this foreign surveillance law. But with Republican infighting over FISA and a pair of contentious amendments being pushed by privacy hawks eager to limit the ability to gather Americans’ data (and a coordinated effort by national security-minded members to kill those amendments), the debate will be nothing near straightforward. Playbook co-author Rachael Bade breaks it all down.
